* GenderInvertedTrope in ''Film/OmenIIITheFinalConflict''. Damien's followers are shown to [[WeAreEverywhere come from all walks of life]] including a couple of boy scouts. When Damien orders his followers to [[NiceJobBreakingItHerod kill every child born on the day of Jesus's resurrection]], we see the two boys at someone's doorstep, cheerfully stating they come to do the "Good deed of the day!" and the scene cuts out, leaving the viewer to [[NothingIsScarier infer the rest]].

Is there anything more adorable and innocent than a Girl Scout? Definitely yes, if you ask some people (especially in the {{webcomic}} community). For some reason, they often end up depicted as [[EnfantTerrible vile monsters who use]] {{de|liberatelyCuteChild}}ceptive {{cute|IsEvil}}ness [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon and innocence]] to guilt-trip adults into buying a product they neither want nor need (viz., Girl Scout cookies) at greatly inflated prices. And if ''that'' doesn't work, they've got other weapons they can resort to...

* Appears in ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'', during Boyd Cooper's MentalWorld, where the Girl Scouts, called "Rainbow Squirts", basically turn out to be the AncientConspiracy, and the final boss of the level is The Den Mother. They're in charge of protecting the ManchurianAgent inside of Boyd until he's ready to wake up.

They're in charge of protecting the ManchurianAgent inside of Boyd until he's ready to wake up. It's implied that he sees the agents of his brainwashing as girl scouts because his mother (who he has unresolved issues with) was a Den Mother to a troupe of girl scouts.

* Laura Limpin AKA The Big Badolescent from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', who is a member of the Skunky Scouts. In "Operation: QUIET", Numbuh Three slams the door in her face when she shows up selling candy before Numbuh Five remembers the [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry previous incident]] [[HulkingOut with her]]. Fortunately, she "convinces" them to buy it, and it proves useful in keeping Stickybeard occupied after he also shows up.

* Popped up in at least one ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip, where they brought out the big guns - [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/3/16/ a red-nosed girl-scout with blond pigtails and crutches]], who successfully forced even {{Jerkass}} Tycho into buying a pile of overpriced cookies. Though it's close enough to count for this, in truth, this was not a case of evil Girl Scouts. Rather, it was a case of Tycho not being evil ''enough'' to resist the cuteness (and cookies).

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' cartoon has a downplayed example, One episode had a girl scout in TheStinger who clearly put on the waterworks to yoink Dilbert out of his money, even as he himself pointed out that her parents are wealthy and he doesn't need the overpriced cookies. When he tries to rationalize it as "helping a little girl learn a valuable lesson", Dogbert counters that he had mostly encouraged her to pursue a life of crime.

* The first ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'' movie, where Wednesday and Pugsley terrorize a girl scout. That actress returns in the next movie as the AlphaBitch. It's Mercedes [=McNab=], who went on to play Harmony in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}.'' In said first film, said Alpha Bitch turns up her nose at Wednesday's lemonade stand because the lemonade's not made with real lemons. When she tells Wednesday she's selling Girl Scout Cookies instead, Wednesday asks, "[[MadeFromRealGirlScouts Are they made with real Girl Scouts?]]" The alpha bitch gives her a horrified look, but ''doesn't actually say no....'' Depending on your interpretation, Wednesday may have just [[LittleMissSnarker made the joke to get rid of her]] because she was being an annoying snob. (Well, ''maybe''.)
